While the hope for spiritual freedom is ancient, what Scientology is doing is new. The way it is organized is new. The technologies with which it can bring about a new state of being in Man are likewise new.

Because Scientology addresses Man as a spiritual being, it stands completely apart from other fields which see Man as a product of his environment or his genes—fixed in the limitations under which he was born.

In contrast, Scientology is the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes and other life. Based upon the tradition of 50 thousand years of thinking men, it is built upon the fundamental truths of life.
